J.J. Watt's foundation now over $5 million and counting for Hurricane Harvey victims

The response to J.J. Watt’s impassioned plea to help Houston and the surrounding areas devastated by Hurricane Harvey continues to amaze. As of Wednesday morning, the foundation Watt established this week to help victims had topped $5 million in contributions.

Several NFL players and teams have contributed, including the Tennessee Titans chipping in $1 million.

Watt himself has posted several social media messages expressing his deep gratitude and appreciation to everyone for helping to make a difference. He was already an iconic figure in Houston, but Watt’s heroic efforts in the face of the Harvey devastation will never be forgotten.
